Hopkins superstar: Kronick sets record

By DEVIN TUCKER | September 25, 2014

Collegiate sports: they can be a great thing, and they can also make you want to tear your hair out. Sometimes a bastion of glory and other times a manifestation of stress and pain, it’s safe to say playing a college sport can come with a lot of stress. Many people put in tremendous amounts of time and effort just to be on a team. A select few get to start on a team, and some people are happy with just a few minutes of playing time, as long as they can get some action on the field. If these players who strive and persevere with every fiber of their being to play just a small amount of time are happy with only getting a few minutes a game, then think of the satisfaction of players who secure a starting role. Take it one step further, and imagine that you are one of these starting players and that you could have an assist for your team and then a goal to top it all off. Now imagine that with the assist and goal you set the school record for all-time assists and the Centennial Conference record for all-time goals scored.
